Tips:
* If 100 lines of expressions show up in your timeline when you hit
"U", try to close the triangle ▶︎ in front of Contents to collapse
them all. See how you can turn off revealing expressions "
improvements to keyboard shortcuts"
* Double click the properties in the Effects Panel to reveal that
property in the timeline.
* Referencing a shape-layer in another comp. Create a new shape-layer
in the current comp, Name it after the comp and control layer you
want to reference in another comp, for example: "edit" then a comma "
," and then the name of the control layer "control". Layer name =
edit,control Now you can reference ouroboros layers to that
shape-layer with fancy name and it will go to comp edit and reference
layer control.
* Maintain stroke width when using strokes that are inside a
pre-comp. Add a comma "," + "comp-name" to the name of your Ouroboros
layer. Your Ouroboros layer now knows to include the scale from
itself in the pre-comp. Layer name = my Ouroboros Stroke,edit
